For some reason I was looking up La Parka and found this site and FAQ

La Parka FAQ
Q: Where is La Parka wrestling right not?
A: Since his departure from WCW, La Parka has been working many shows in Mexico. From what I have heard, the chairman wrestles almost every night in Mexico, as well as working the occasional US indy show.
Q: Is it me, or is there more that one La Parka?
A: While there can be only one La Parka, there are a few imposters, and variations of his gimmick. Antonio Pena, the owner of the Mexican AAA federation has owned the Mexican rights to the La Parka gimmick since La Parka began working for the WCW. Since then, he has introduced La Parka Jr., the bastard son of the original and La Parkita, the mini version. The REAL La Parka doesn't approve of Pena's use of his likeness, but due to legal reasons, AAA is able to get away with it. There is also a luchador by the name of 'Super Parka,' who's costume is identical to La Parkas, but features Superman symbols on the forehead and crotch (heh heh). He is La Parka's uncle (?) and was given the gimmick from the chairman himself. As a matter of fact, the two of them tag with each other once in a while.
Q: Why isn't La Parka on the lucha libre television shows?
A: Due to the fact that Antonio Pena owns the rights to the La Parka gimmick, the real La Parka can't appear on Mexican television. CMLL, the Mexican federation that has a great weekly television show often books La Parka on their house shows, but are unable to use him on T.V. In my opinion, this is one of the worlds greatest travesties.
